The outer placement also makes them important in preventing lateral falls, which are far and away the most likely to result in injury.

Testimonials

As an athletic trainer in the NBA, the ToePro has become our favorite exercise device for increasing not just toe strength, but also horizontal jump distance. It also plays an important role in injury prevention.

John Dusel

Strength and Conditioning Trainer in the NBA

“I love my ToePro and use it every morning before I run. It helps strengthen my feet, ankles, and calves, and improves my push-off and running form. Takes just a few minutes a day and has helped keep me injury free. I even pack it when I travel!”

Mark Carroll

Former Olympic 5K runner (PR 13:03) and currently the head coach and director of athletic performance for the Boston Athletic Association.

“Simplistic genius! The ToePro is incredibly easy to use and my athletes love it. I’m always surprised how many high-level athletes present with toe weakness, and how much they improve after using the ToePro. I wish I started using it sooner!”

Andrew Hauser

Former trainer for the Los Angeles Dodgers

Dr. Michaud’s strengthening protocols kept me running through the toughest parts of my career. Three months after starting treatment for a spinal stress fracture, I set the world record for the marathon in Rotterdam, and the next year, I set another world record in Berlin.”
